I can't find "Squire" in my dictionary at all.
Asked my dear wife who can spell and she said the Squire is a common spelling of a surname.

I spell it both ways when I search stuff, but ya I get it.

I have about 6 - 7 Squier Strats...not Squire Strats.

Google knows all about both spellings.

A huge problem with the net is if people continue to repeat inaccurate information it becomes accepted as fact.
I've watched a couple of completely incorrect pieces of information become fact in the classic motorcycle world and have now given up on any attempt to correct.
I guess spelling isn't as important as it once was and generally only matters to older people.
(Disclaimer, I don't naturally do well with spelling but I have a "printed paper" dictionary on my desk at all times)

My favorite Squier Strats are made in Korea and Indonesia. I'm an early MIM Strat man also. I had bad luck with a Classic series 50s Strat MIM so now I'm a little afraid of the newer MIM ones. Squier was around before Leo Fender was even born.

I have a Squier Standard and a Deluxe and love them both.

If I didnt have the Rondo SX SSS strat I would likely own a Squier.

I had a Squier Jaguar that was very well made, no issues, good GC.
I liked it but didnt LOVE it.

Selling that financed my 2005 Jackson DK2 Dinky.
I LOVE that guitar.
Black Jackie need some lovin'.

I think I will be breaking with sticking to the AXL LP this evening.
I have been focusing / practicing / learning 6 or so AC/DC songs - (the rhythm tracks) lately.

I had not been practicing the Iron Maiden songs I had been learning.
However, I may try plugging the laptop into the Micro Terror for the first time for some Malcolm play along first.
